NBA triple-double star Westbrook joins the Kings

According to the Kings' reporter on August 2, the team's management is actively seeking to join the triple-double star Westbrook. The two sides have communicated many times and are very interested. Westbrook has the chance to play the role of starting point guard again in the Kings. It is reported that the Kings are also working hard to win over Warriors striker Kumingga, who will adopt a sign-on and then exchange trading method, so Westbrook's joining will be related to the specific communication details after solving Kumingga's problem.

The Kings have had many trade negotiations with the Warriors about Cuminga, and have once again proposed to send away Monk + the 2030 first round pick (Lotto protection) for the Warriors in exchange for Cuminga. They agreed to sign $63 million in three years and then get Cuminga, but the Warriors want an unprotected draft pick. The two sides are further negotiating the trading weights, and the Suns are also actively striving to get Cuminga. It is estimated that the transactions of these three teams on Cuminga will eventually show results in a week in the future. The Kings also hope to solve the problem of weak point guards. This season, both Monk and Ellis are not very ideal in organizing and connecting teams. Westbrook, 36, played for the Nuggets in 2024-2025 season. He played in a total of 75 games in the regular season, averaged 27.9 minutes per game, scored 13.3 points + 4.9 rebounds + 6.1 assists + 1.4 steals + 0.5 blocks, shot 44.0%, three-point shooting percentage 32.0%, and free throw shooting percentage 66.0%. He is one of the important forces in the Nuggets being able to eliminate the Clippers in the first seven-game series of the playoffs!
